Can anyone confirm that Whaddon Road actually is the smallest ground in League 1? Obviously, it isn't the smallest in the whole league - but is it in our division? Presumably in terms of capacity. According to the Football Ground Guide - and judging by crowd capacity - Fleetwood is the smallest fol...

Looks like Vale have sold out blocks 4, 5 and 6 of the Hazlewoods. They have a hundred of so left in block 3. Blocks 1 and 2 not on sale. We almost certainly won't open block 1 of the Hazlewoods up for home fans as we did last season for KFAQ against Accrington Stanley. Sorry for ignorance, but wha...

I asked at the ticket office yesterday as there's barely anything left if blocks 7 and 8 would be opened, and they said that there was a large group of kids in and they'd already sold, so I'm pretty sure Vale aren't in the CF. Maybe their extras are because they weren't sent many in the Hazelwoods ...

Also nothing in the club newsletter which arrived in my inbox about an hour ago.

Tickets have just gone on sale for our last away game of the season. It'll be my first away game for some time. If you're going and you see someone dressed up as Super Mario, go up and say hi. It won't be me, but I'm sure they'll appreciate it. Anyone know if there is still plenty of parking availa...

*Do* we have a particularly long pitch? Sent from my SM-G9860 using Tapatalk I thought it was a small pitch overall. Certainly doesn't feel as long or wide as most pitches. According to 'Football Grounds Guide', our pitch is 111x72 yards; Portman Road is 112x70 yards. Perhaps Ipswich struggled to c...

See if you can identify this former player from his Wikipedia page (born 19 January 1967) is an English former footballer who played as a defender in the Football League. He made only one Football League appearance for Colchester United, on loan from Portsmouth where he made no first team appearanc...

Back of block 3. Just an absolute know-all gobshite who, when he isn't shouting his bile, never stops talking utter c!#p loudly enough for everyone to hear, abusing our players, swearing non-stop with several small kids in the area, trying to let everyone know he is the oracle, despite the fact he ...

Can someone arrange some oxygen for JY Or perhaps replay the match commentary to him so that he can see how many times PM has had to cut in or talk over him in order to actually commentate on a important development in the game. It wouldn’t be so bad if he was saying something interesting but most ...

Agreed on Hussey although odd that he has never been EFL Player of the Month. In fact the last CTFC winner of that award was Mo Eisa back in 2018. Must say something about us being a highly successful team rather than a collection of individuals. Personally I don’t think that Raglan or Tozer would b...

No replays (ET and penalties if needed) Nine subs can be named and three used in maximum of three opportunities. Two concussion subs allowed. VAR to be used in games held at Premiership stadiums. Any game postponed because of COVID to be decided at discretion of FA (that is, no automatic byes). Chel...

Yes (according to EFL website).

Mine just arrived.

I’ve also been a subscriber for twenty years and more. It’s a shame to see a quality publication struggle - help it out if you can.

Has anyone tried using iFollow yet and is it any good? I am contemplating setting up a VPN to allow me to subscribe and stream away matches live - has anyone tried this yet? I watched the Morecombe game on iFollow (from France). Picture quality very good but with a single camera that stubbornly fol...

The Times has a League Two Preview today. It lists Jerell Sellars as one of four players to watch (the others are Keston Davies, Rekeil Pyle and Ryan Brunt).

Yes, we are talking about relative levels.

Lennon has 21 England caps and over 350 league appearances mostly in Premiership - but maybe that's not enough to count as a reasonably 'fulfilled' career?

Time immemorial.

Cheers - 3 points on Boxing Day will help.

Ticker.

Happy Christmas to all from a hospital bed in West Wales. A nice present would be a good win over Barnet - l'll be listening on-line and trying not to get too excited if the goals begin to go in!

Mine arrived today. It's an excellent piece of work - congratulations to those who produced it.

Giving Yates, Troy Brown and any other vermin who contributed to our relegation is fully justified in my opinion. Robin, I am absolutely astounded at your comment. Just because somebody has not achieved success at a football club, it is not a reason to class them as "vermin". I am very bi...

Northampton, Chris Wilder?
